Focus on the Tao
The quiet night is dark, with floating light and mist.
In the quiet courtyard, Jiang Yuebai sat on a small horse, holding a jade slip between his eyebrows and reading the exercises.
Tao Fengnian sat behind her, soaked a comb in water, and combed her frizzy hair away little by little.
Jiang Yuebai was pulled up and down, but his mind was completely immersed in the jade slip.
Gengjin, Yimu, Guishui, Binghuo and Wutu, there are five exercises in total.
The Five Elements can correspond to the five internal organs and five sense organs of the body.
As well as the five emotions and five sounds, the five seasons and five flavors, the five colors and the five sounds, the five qi and the five directions, there is the great road of heaven and earth.
As described in "Five Elements Returning True Gong (Qi Training Chapter)", it is a method of tempering the internal organs and the five senses by transporting the spiritual energy of the five elements.
When practicing alone, each exercise can form a small weekly cycle of its own.
When practicing together, you must first introduce the five exercises separately to form a five-element cyclone like the Gengjin cyclone.
Then connect the five small heavens to form the great heaven, and one cycle can travel all over the body.
Nourishes the internal organs, strengthens the bones and blood, polishes the muscles and skin, and clears the five senses.
It is not difficult for Jiang Yuebai to learn the five exercises alone. All he needs to do is remember the locations of the acupuncture points and meridians, and patiently guide the Qi to perform the exercises.
The difficulty lies in the mutual transformation of the five elements. For example, the aura of the metal element nourishes the lungs. When the qi comes out of the lungs, when it enters the kidneys, it needs to transform the aura of the metal element into the aura of water. The same applies to other places, so that a large cycle can be completed.
Although this skill was difficult, it made Jiang Yuebai's heart surge.
According to the general outline of the exercise, once you understand the mutual transformation of the five elements and use it skillfully, you can instantly transform auras of different attributes into the required attributes.
In this way, when her metal element spiritual energy is insufficient, she can completely convert the other four elements into gold. Wouldn't the five spiritual roots be the same as the single spiritual root, and it is five times stronger than the single spiritual root.
This exercise is more time-consuming and labor-intensive than other exercises when running for a period of time, but the results are extremely attractive.
It was the mutual transformation of these five elements that she couldn't find the right way to do.
Fortunately, Tao Fengnian helped her consider the difficulties and changed to the "Five Elements Rotation Method".
There are many tips and methods to transform the five elements, as well as in-depth and simple analysis of the ways to create and suppress the five elements.
Jiang Yuebai believes that as long as she studies hard and tries many times, she will always be able to understand the method that suits her.
There seemed to be a class on the Five Elements in the lecture hall tomorrow, so Jiang Yuebai hurriedly found the lecture schedule.
[At this moment, Li Jiuchuan, the elder of Wanfa Hall, explains the initial explanation of the Five Elements and their restraints]
Jiang Yuebai's eyes lit up, it was an elder giving a lecture and not a disciple of the inner sect.
And "The Method of Rotation of Five Elements" was written by Li Jiuchuan!
Jiang Yuebai decided to read the entire "Five Elements Rotation Method" in the evening and try to memorize it in full to avoid not understanding it in class tomorrow.
I have to arrive early tomorrow. I can ask Elder Li for a few words before the class starts. This is a rare opportunity.
"Elder Li is giving a lecture tomorrow, so you should go and listen carefully."
Jiang Yuebai turned around and was held down by Tao Fengnian, who tied a red rope around her head.
"Wanfa Hall is the place where Tianyan Sect specializes in studying various Taoisms and reforming the old to bring out the new. Elder Li also has five spiritual roots. When he built the foundation, he once reached the top of the list of combat power. It takes less than fifty years for ordinary monks to build the foundation and form elixirs.
, it only took him thirty years from foundation building to elixir formation, and the elixir became a first-grade one, which is simply unbelievable."
"He was also a very popular figure in the sect at that time. Everyone said that he would become Lu Xingyun's second best. The Supreme Elder also had the idea of accepting a disciple. However, I don't know what happened. He suddenly fell silent. It was said that there was no hope of conceiving a baby.
, so he stayed in Wanfa Hall to study the Five Elements."
"He has always maintained in the sect that the Five Spiritual Roots are the real Heavenly Spiritual Roots. Over the years, he has guided many disciples of the Five Spiritual Roots in building foundations. Unfortunately, none of them can reach the Golden Core Realm like him. Okay, let's see what happens.
Sample."
Tao Fengnian handed over a Bagua bronze mirror, which reflected the appearance of Jiang Yuebai with two buns on her head. Yuxue was as cute as a boy under the throne of Taozu.
"Why is it a double bun? My mother said that when a girl goes out alone, it is best to dress up as a boy to be safe." Jiang Yuebai pouted.
Tao Fengnian said, "There is no difference between men and women in the world of cultivation, so you don't have to worry about it."
"Really?" Jiang Yuebai's eyes burned.
Tao Fengnian nodded, "That's true. It's just that monks come from the mortal world. There are always people who have the idea that men are superior to women and cannot be changed for a while. The Yun Kingdom is not bad. There are also female officials and generals in the court. The Cang Kingdom is pedantic and women are not allowed to change.
Show your face.”
"But in the world of cultivation, the higher the cultivation level, the less important the distinction between men and women is. Only strength is considered. This is the case for my Tianyan Sect's founder, Lu Xingyun, who was born in the sky and dominated the three realms.
The Zhufeng Sword Master has been in love with Lu Xingyun for three thousand years, and even changed his honorific title to Zhuyun."
"Jianjun Zhuyun even said that he would be willing to be Lu Xingyun's servant. No one in the cultivation world would criticize these remarks, just because Lu Xingyun is so powerful and everyone admires him, and being a servant is also an honor."
Jiang Yuebai's face was filled with interest, "What happened next? Did Lu Xingyun and Zhuyun Sword Master achieve the right results?"
Tao Fengnian smiled and said, "Zhuyun Sword Lord Luohua is intentional, Lu Xingyun Liushui is ruthless, she pursues the great road wholeheartedly, and has no thoughts of love in her heart."
Jiang Yuebai nodded excitedly, "I also want to be like the founder of Tianyan Sect and only pursue the great path!"
Tao Fengnian's eyes brightened, and he quickly agreed, "It should be so, but grandpa is telling you this because he hopes you won't belittle yourself because of your gender. I hope you don't wear a double bun because you don't like it, rather than because you are afraid that others will find out that you are a girl.
.”
Jiang Yuebai looked at himself in the mirror again, "It doesn't look good, it looks like horns, moo~"
"Haha, you girl, okay, okay, grandpa will change it into a bun for you."
After some reshaping, Jiang Yuebai's hair was in a neat bun. Tao Fengnian took out a simple wooden hairpin and tied it into the bun for her.
The cool air came out from the wooden hairpin, making Jiang Yuebai's eyesight clear.
"This is the hairpin of a clear mind. I hope you will see your true nature clearly in the future and not be shy or aggressive."
Jiang Yuebai touched the wooden hairpin on her head and saw that she kept her true nature, was modest and prudent and was not arrogant. She liked this meaning very much and would remember this sentence.
Early the next morning, Tao Fengnian personally drove the paper crane to send Jiang Yuebai to the foot of Tianman Peak, chattering along the way.
Qian warned and warned her not to tell others her root value and breakthrough time, and to be careful when making insinuations or being questioned.
As soon as the paper crane landed on the ground, Jiang Yuebai ran away without looking back, just waved her hand casually, and told Tao Fengnian that she hadn't even finished her words, and she had forgotten to bring the rice dumplings prepared for her.
But the few talismans he prepared were not left behind.
"Grandpa will pick you up after class."
Tao Fengnian shouted without giving up, but the only response he received was the echo of the empty valley and deep forest. He grabbed the rice dumplings with a sense of loss, feeling empty in his heart.
Returning to Huaxi Valley, I met Song Pei'er and Lu Ying.
Seeing Tao Fengnian's distraught appearance, Song Pei'er knew that he was going to send Jiang Yuebai to class early in the morning, so she teased him.
"Mr. Tao, you don't have an apprentice here. You clearly have a granddaughter. You teach her wholeheartedly, not to mention picking her up and dropping her off in person. How can there be an apprentice who never works in the fields?"
Tao Fengnian looked calm and said in a deep voice, "She is my granddaughter!"
After saying that, he turned around and left without mercy.
Song Pei'er laughed angrily and lowered her head to see her apprentice Lu Ying stretching her neck and looking in the direction of Tianman Peak, her eyes full of envy.
"You also want to go to the Dharma lecture hall?"
Lu Ying twisted her clothes and nodded timidly.
Song Pei'er rolled her eyes and said, "Then go by yourself. I won't see you off. The fields are busy."
Lu Ying was overjoyed and ran out of the valley.
